Shrimp Scampi sounds so intimidating - so "fancy pants restaurant-y" that I never even considered trying to make it. Then I looked through several recipes, and thought about how to make it as simple and fresh as possible.

The following recipe is what I came up with - it's not rocket science of course; however, my anti-seafood husband even requests this meal and says it's one of his favorites. I have received a lot of praise for this simple & delicious meal.

Simple ingredients you probably have at home, quick to make, easy to clean up (1 pot, 1 pan, 2 plates) - what more can you ask for?

Start with bringing water to a boil and cooking you’re pasta to a little less than al-dente. While making the pasta melt the butter, lemon juice, zest, garlic, salt, and pepper in a non-stick pan and melt. Add in your zucchini and saute for about 5 minutes. Add in your shrimp and sauté for another 5. Add in your noodles and sauté for another 5 minutes.

Oh, how I love shrimp scampi ... so wonderful, Brooke! And, I just picked up some shrimp on sale, too. It's frozen, but raw. Still I can easily thaw it, peel it, and throw it in the mix to cook. Yummy! Thanks so much for this one. I'll use it soon. :-)
